We performed a comparison between Fivetran and Oracle GoldenGate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."
"The portal is very intuitive and easy to use."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"You can manage all of your connectors individually, which gives you a very good ability to trace which one of your ETL processes is running and when."
"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle GoldenGate is its cost-effectiveness compared to other solutions like Oracle Data Guard, especially for Oracle-to-non-Oracle replication scenarios."
"GoldenGate enables us to merge and transform data from various sources in real time. It's a powerful tool that can read and load most data sources."
"It is quite scalable."
"This solution has a well-known procedure for troubleshooting and tuning the performance, providing for smooth operation."
"Oracle GoldenGate helps to select and target specific tables for replication. Any changes or operations on those tables are immediately reflected in the source and target environments."
"For small databases, GoldenGate handles the migration well."
"Since the world is going towards open source, the solution's heterogeneous data migration feature is very useful."
"GoldenGate can connect and collect data from multiple sources, such as SQL Server."
"Some of the pain points we're looking at are trying to integrate some of the items in the Microsoft stack, so SharePoint and Excel, and then some of the newer Azure services."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"There was a random change to our contract in a unilateral manner after the first year. The overall cost of using Fivetran was then unclear and this is the reason I would not recommend this solution."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"I would like for them to incorporate additional transformations. A valuable aspect of the product is that it does inflight transformations and that could be expanded."
"The documentation can be laid out better to make it easier to find things, and I really wish there was built-in support for changing passwords. Some features don't work as advertised for the platform/repository database, and HVR is not always the fastest at getting results."
"The documentation is decent, but it's hard to find information online about Fivetran. For example, if you try to search for an error code, you won't find much information about it in forums."
"You cannot put everything in Golden Gate for the license and large models."
"I find the user interface to be difficult for non-technical people."
"In some cases, expectations were not met, especially when specific tables were expected to be disabled, and changes were anticipated in the target environment. We had to take backups from the source and refresh the address to address this."
"A clean and user-friendly graphical interface based on common design principles would be beneficial."
"Some issues regarding stability need to be resolved."
"The solution needs to improve its latency, monitoring and support."
"The product lacks some features and it's expensive."
"Troubleshooting issues is not always the easiest. It should be easier to troubleshoot. Their support can also be improved. They don't read your problem statement and waste a lot of time. GoldenGate for big data is actually a separate license. It is sort of a separate product, but it might fall underneath your GoldenGate category. If we're talking about big data, its interaction with big data sources is poorly documented."
